Finding a new fragrance is all about experimenting and exploring new aromas. Long gone are the days of solitary scents worn from one season to the next. The industry has evolved to include an assortment of fun notes and accords, making the process of scent shopping even more enjoyable. Pink marshmallows, skin and solar scents are just a few trends that have taken off—and now pear fragrances are poised to be the next buzzy fragrance. To be clear, this isn’t a revival of the saccharine, sweet, picnic basket pear scents you may remember. Instead of cloying and cliché, these pear perfumes offer a mix of moods, including complex, decadent, floral and easygoing. Below, see the best pear fragrances to add to your collection.
Pear fragrances to try
Nette Pear Jam Eau de Parfum ($120)
This pear fragrance is adored for its bright nature and pear-forward scent. While the fruit is the hero of the perfume, its supporting notes help give it a jammy and seductive feel. From the rich aromas of Bulgarian rose and raspberry pulp to heady patchouli and ambrette seed, it’s the kind of scent you don’t want to take off.
By/ Rosie Jane Leila Lou Eau de Parfum ($80)
With notes of flower blossoms and fresh-cut grass, Rosie Jane’s latest fragrance is like an explosion of spring with each spritz. It effortlessly combines the aromas of nature with crisp pear and dries down to a soft and feminine scent.
Juliette Has a Gun Pear Inc. ($150)
While some pear fragrances rely on a sweet accord, this one has a sophisticated blend to mellow it out. Notes of musk and amber create the perfect balance between pretty and woodsy making it a great option for everyday wear. It’s also light enough to layer, which can be tricky to do when it comes to bold notes like pear.
Merit Retrospect L’Extrait de Parfum ($92)
The pear shape and luxe look of the bottle speaks volumes for the fragrance inside. It’s rich, sumptuous and soft, with a classic scent. The scent dries down to fit your personal body chemistry but remains alluring thanks to grounding notes of warm vanilla musk and cool earthy moss.
Jo Malone London English Pear & Freesia Cologne ($168)
Like many of the brand’s fragrances, this scent just feels effortless. The pear notes are ripe, luscious and not too sweet that it overcomes the freesias which are soft and delicate. Even the woody base notes—patchouli and golden amber—feel mellow and unfussy. The result is a perfume that’s light and easygoing no matter what you’re wearing.
Forvr Mood I Am Her Eau de Parfum ($79)
Glamorous, decadent and rich, this perfume layers on luxury with each spray. The core is composed of gourmand fruity notes— think lush pears and juicy raspberries that create a tantalizing aroma when blended with notes of red velvet cake. The combination is as delightful as it is sinful.
